I had mine fitted a week ago, and have done 1500 miles since. I would say they do make a difference and I would recommend them. |

I will be ordering them for my car soon. Won't have a car without them now! |

Had mine fitted, purchased from Duckworth, makes a difference if towing, I got mine fitted to minimize spray and dirt hitting the race car |

I've asked my dealer to add them to my ever expanding list before my car is delivered. Current...

How much do the dealers charge for installing them? There's a long list of dealer installed options, many of which are simply placed in the car - though it wouldn't surprise me if they tried to charge to do even that. However, installing the mud-flaps involves cutting or drilling so they may well charge and the deployable side steps requires almost a day's worth of work.

Think the key is whether they can be fitted without taking the wheels off because it's more involved if you do. I originally tried and failed with the Evoque, all fine with the extra space. |

I managed to fit them on my Freelander without taking the wheels off. I am hoping the RRS will be the same! Arrived: MY16 A/B SDV6 in Aruba, Ivory interior, piano black trim, black panoramic roof, spare wheel, blind spot monitoring, mudlaps and more... |

I've got deployable steps and they get absolutely minging. I've had a set of mudflaps sent from Duckworths and will fit them myself when I can, this should help a bit. As Mark_N said, if you get them done by a dealer they just don't do it properly (probably a job for some apprentice anyway) - I'm sure my attention to detail is better.

I'm rubbish at stuff like this and as my sales guy has organized free fitting I'm going with it. I will be paying MSRP for the mud flaps which is a bit more than Duckworths (who by the way quoted me more money for a replacement Evoque key than my dealer). Free fitting or not, I'd want the mudflaps to be fitted properly so have told them I will be casting my beady eyes over their work ![]() Just Landed....MY2014.5 Mariana Black HSE Dynamic with tons of toys MY2014 Evoque Si4 Dynamic Santorini black with toys galore 2010 Porsche Carrera 2S (997.2) Basalt black with PDK On Order: Porsche Macan S Diesel...eta March 2015 Previous 2010 RRS HSE Santorini black (super reliable and will be missed) 3 x Boring Audi's, Q7, TT, A4 Cab (yawn) Last edited by Senna on Thu Feb 13 2014 12:10pm.

Can someone tell me what "minging" means?
